Nice image, Mike. i like the pose and details.
We have a very similar blue water colour arond here that I always desaturate a little as people won't know that this is the real colour, and it is.

Excellent techs, great looking duck.

A very nice image Mike, I like the rich color of the water and detail in the feathers in both highlights and shadows. Just wondering if the tip of the beak could be a tad bit sharper... Overall a very pleasing image.

Wish we has some clear and blue water here rather than several tones of muddy brown hehehehe

Nicely one mike, no blown whites at all, I feel a little more crop off the top would be nice and more sharpening to the head region

Nice one Mike. Beautiful job on the whites. Got get back down there but it looks like clouds for the next 10 days!

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful shot.
Exposure is spot on, great pose, excellent IQ, and terrific shooting angle.
Well done.
